Several months before. young man
named Robertson, tired and WORKOUT
looking. had applied for board at the
Pritchard farm. situated in a rough dis
.trict of Kentucky. When told by the
widow that she could not accommo-
date him, he replied: '1 want no &C
commodations. merely want to stay
here a few days and fare as you do"
His tone of voice was SO appealing, and
his manners bespoke such gentlemanly
considerations hat Mrs. Pritchard could
not refuse him. The few days length
ened into weeks. the weeks into
months, and still the young man
showed no disposition to leave the
place; and, it can also be said. the old
woman and her daughter exhibited no
desire to part with his company.
Martha was. every one said. q
-'.strange sort of girl" Her features
were regular and her countenance had
that cast of melancholy which becomes
beautiful when the light of smile is
thrown upon it. She was not SO tall

not three Republican Presidents in
succession-Hayes, Garfseld and Ar
thur-.1refrain from interfering for
he protection of eolored men
at the South? a Republican
President withdrew the Federal
troops from that section. A Re
publican Supreme Court nullified the
Civil-Rights law. The last Republican
President, 'tstalNart'' at that. never
once mentioned the ''outrases" or re-
ferred to the South as a section requir-
ing Federal supervision. These out

under the policy of leaving the con-

States. In no two years since the

inv and hindetlng SO far as il i able. The
efars of those who a'temp: reforms.
Wneuevyr /, can find exceptions which are
not reached by the methods us,d, 1t s,iz :
them. cxaggerates them aud tries to utilize
ihem ~ conclusive evidence of failure.
This kind of argument has certain weight
with those against whom the reforms are
directed and with those who sympathise
with them; also with that class Of people
who are not capable OF logical reasoning.
1t is argument from special TO a general,
the evidence of a single case against the
prepondersnce OF opposing testimony. But
1t serves the purpose of the class using it
although ii really proves nothing. Such
Is tho argument used by the enemies of
prohibition in this State. The argument is
an exact index of the men using it. and
when met by the arguments adduced by
logical deductions from facts. in the judg.
ment of candid people amounts to nothing.
Yet the argument from exceptions is no.
the only one resorted to by this class of
men. Another which carries little or no
weight with ii when analysed to the very
source, is the argument of "tlings' or
vulgar criticisms, meriting contempt
rather than notice. The influence of such
argument-and it is doubtful if il can be
given that name at all-upon csrtsin ele-
ments of population. is for the moment
very marked, but soon loses its power
from its very thinness. 1t is a making use
OF the fact that people like to be nckled
but such sensation lasts only so long 3.
the cause is present. There is certainly
